In state-sanctioned cinema, they sit in the dark and see how two people make it with each other, and they themselves are not seen. For the large Austrian and German exile community in Hollywood and the popularity of the Viennese Film with Hollywood studios that were remaking them for American audiences, such an creative and financial connection was feasible and desirable. Eating people, so producers combined them in a string of films where people had to contend with BOTH real cannibals and zombies.

With the coming of sound production in the early s, a unique film style and genre that would represent Austria's national film into the s was created -- the Viennese Film. Because the Austrian federal government refused to support filmmakers with the type of subsidies that had become the norm in other European countries, a initiative by the Vice Mayor of Vienna, Felix Slavik, led to the establishment of the Stadthalle productions, which would utilize Vienna's large modern city auditorium as a studio.

Lanham, Maryland: The Scarecrow Press, The king is dead; long live the king! While it suggests the capitalist exploitation of a romanticized imperial past in the Second Republic, Lhotsky's work also is a metafilmic commentary on the s imperial epic films, in which the audience desired to "costume" themselves in a mythic past for a few hours in a fantasy of identity, which must then be abandoned for Cold War reality. It was this largely artificial suffocation of Austrian film that allowed for the erroneous and widely spread notion that "there is no real film culture" [2] in Austria. Chapter 6. Working with her partner Peter Weibel, she created the " Tapp und Tastkino " "Touch Cinema," , which she called the "first real woman's film. Eleftheriotis, Dimitris. Italians had been making these sort of films since the silent era Cabiria , The Last Days of Pompeii , , , Spartacus , , Maciste , and revisited these glory epics of the teens with the first major breakthrough filone of the post-war period, the peplum or pepla for plural, which peaked between Droits d'auteur. But in the short memory of distributors, critics, film festivals and the world audience, Austria's apparent no-show in the international film market for almost three decades would seem to support such negative publicity. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves. Nevertheless, posts filmmakers succeeded in attracting a younger generation whose parents had abandoned cinema during the decline of commercial product and in the period of Actionism and marginalized experimentation. Thus an important requirement of intermedia is fulfilled: the creative input of the projectionist. After losing the Tressler picture, Berger rose to fame in West German cinema and was a stylish foreign sex symbol in mids Hollywood and international entertainment before returning to West Germany and Austria to seek better parts and to work as a producer. Luckily, especially for the uninitiated, we have several thousand great and not so great filoni films to discover and rediscover; and from an historical standpoint Italy must be certainly acknowledged, along with the United States, as one of the great National producers of popular cinemas of the post-world war 2 era s to late s.

The involvement of Hollywood's Universal Pictures in Austrian film after the nationalization of Berlin's film industry encouraged Vienna's official film council, Eugen Lanske to attempt a replacement for traditional German support with a stronger American role in Austrian film production. However, the term was only used for the first time ever in reference to film by Universal studios in to market their Gothic films Dracula and Frankenstein. International Adventures provides the first comprehensive account of these genres, and charts the history of the West German film industry and its main protagonists from the immediate post-war years to its boom period in the s and s. The mainstream Austrian film studios were forced to implement German racial laws to be able to export films to Germany and this encouraged a second Austrian film industry to emerge after , the independent Emigrantenfilm Emigrant Film.

Inspired by this success and the skills and resources to make them, the Americans made a series of big-budget peplum which employed Italian crews and craftsmen: Helen of Troy R. But this intention to contain and exploit, actually allowed many directors at Wien-Film to distance themselves from, and to some extent even subvert, National Socialist pan- German ideology with nostalgic images of Old Austria.

    Die ersten Europäer Habsburger und andere Juden – eine Welt vor 1914 Begleitprogramm Die ersten Europäer Habsburger und andere Juden – eine Welt vor 1914 25. März – 5. Oktober 2014 Hundert Jahre nach dem Beginn des Ersten Weltkriegs steckt Europa erneut in einer tiefen Krise. Das Jüdische Museum Hohenems blickt zurück auf die Lebenswelt der „Habsburger Juden“ und ihre Erfahrungen, ihre transnationalen Netzwerke und ihre Mobilität, ihre Hoffnungen auf eine europäische Einigung und ihre Illusionen über das Habsburger „Vielvölkerreich“. Die Ausstellung präsentiert kostbare Leihgaben aus Museen und Sammlungen in Europa und den USA. Sie erzählt von Kaufleuten und Lastenträgern, Erfin- dern und verkauften „Bräuten“, Künstlern und Salon- damen, Hausiererinnen und Gelehrten, Spionen und Patrioten. So entfaltet die Schau das Panorama eines untergegangenen Reiches, vom späten Mittelalter bis 1914. Am Ende existierten mehr als 400 jüdische Gemeinden auf dem Gebiet der Habsburger Doppel- monarchie, in denen sich die ganze Vielfalt des Reiches widerspiegelte. Lange Zeit war Hohenems freilich die einzige öffentlich anerkannte jüdische Gemeinde auf dem Gebiet des heutigen Österreich westlich des Burgenlandes, bevor das Staatsgrundgesetz 1867 Juden den Eintritt in die Gesellschaft eröffnen sollte – und der moderne Antisemitismus zur neuen Heilslehre Europas wurde. Juden gehörten in dieser Welt vor 1914 zu den aktivsten Mittlern zwischen den Kulturen und Regionen. Ihre Mobilität und ihre grenzüber- schreitenden Beziehungen machten sie zum dynami- schen Element der europäischen Entwicklung. Die Angehörigen dieser jüdischen Gemeinden waren alles andere als homogen. Sie bestanden aus Monar- chisten und Revolutionären, aus Chassidim und Maskilim, Frommen und Aufgeklärten, ländlichen und urbanen Juden, Armen und Reichen, Traditionalisten und Kämpfern für Gleichheit und Recht, Feministinnen und Utopisten.

  • The Museum of Modern Art Celebrates Vienna's Rich
    THE MUSEUM OF MODERN ART CELEBRATES VIENNA’S RICH CINEMATIC HISTORY WITH MAJOR COLLABORATIVE EXHIBITION Vienna Unveiled: A City in Cinema Is Held in Conjunction with Carnegie Hall’s Citywide Festival Vienna: City of Dreams, and Features Guest Appearances by VALIE EXPORT and Jem Cohen Vienna Unveiled: A City in Cinema February 27–April 20, 2014 The Roy and Niuta Titus Theaters NEW YORK, January 29, 2014—In honor of the 50th anniversary of the Austrian Film Museum, Vienna, The Museum of Modern Art presents a major collaborative exhibition exploring Vienna as a city both real and mythic throughout the history of cinema. With additional contributions from the Filmarchiv Austria, the exhibition focuses on Austrian and German Jewish émigrés—including Max Ophuls, Erich von Stroheim, and Billy Wilder—as they look back on the city they left behind, as well as an international array of contemporary filmmakers and artists, such as Jem Cohen, VALIE EXPORT, Michael Haneke, Kurt Kren, Stanley Kubrick, Richard Linklater, Nicholas Roeg, and Ulrich Seidl, whose visions of Vienna reveal the powerful hold the city continues to exert over our collective unconscious. Vienna Unveiled: A City in Cinema is organized by Alexander Horwath, Director, Austrian Film Museum, Vienna, and Joshua Siegel, Associate Curator, Department of Film, MoMA, with special thanks to the Österreichische Galerie Belvedere. The exhibition is also held in conjunction with Vienna: City of Dreams, a citywide festival organized by Carnegie Hall. Spanning the late 19th to the early 21st centuries, from historical and romanticized images of the Austro-Hungarian empire to noir-tinged Cold War narratives, and from a breeding ground of anti- Semitism and European Fascism to a present-day center of artistic experimentation and socioeconomic stability, the exhibition features some 70 films.

  • Austrian Cinema: a History'
    Habsburg Warren on Dassanowsky, 'Austrian Cinema: A History' Review published on Friday, April 23, 2010 Robert von Dassanowsky. Austrian Cinema: A History. Jefferson: Mcfarland, 2007. 328 pp. $75.00 (paper), ISBN 978-0-7864-3733-7. Reviewed by John Warren (Oxford Brookes University) Published on HABSBURG (April, 2010) Commissioned by Jonathan Kwan A Very Timely Celebration of One Hundred Years of Austrian Cinema I suppose one must start with an acceptance that Austria's place in public consciousness as a filmmaking nation is not strong, but we now have a book, Robert von Dassanowsky'sAustrian Cinema, that provides a complete picture of cinema in Austria from 1895 to the early party of the twenty-first century. This reprint in paperback of the original case bound edition (published in 2005) is a valuable and brave venture, revealing that this small state has made many important contributions to the development of film, even if most of them have been abroad, most notably in Berlin and in Hollywood. Within some 285 pages of text, Dassanowsky has covered the widest possible range of topics: films and different film genres, directors, actors, production companies, finance, international connections and cooperation, and last but by no means least much reference to the Austrian political situation at various key periods in the development of its film industry. The author has organized the telling of the story into seven chronologically based chapters, outlining over one hundred years of Austrian cinema, and it will make sense if I briefly summarize their content, the last chapter bringing us into an important and successful phase of Austrian cinema, Austrian cinema in the twenty-first century.

  • After the Rain
    After the Rain Dir: Takashi Koizumi, Japan/France, 1999 A review by Shulamit Almog, University of Haifa, Israel After the Rain is Takashi Koizumi's feature film debut, made in 1999, Shoji Ueda and Takao Saito as cinematographers. Akira Kurosawa wrote the screenplay, and Takashi Koizumi, who pays the late Japanese master a tribute in this film, attempted to make a film from Kurosawa's script, as he would have wished. The tribute quality of the film manifests itself most eminently when one puts After the Rain alongside Rashomon, Kurosawa's 1950 masterpiece, that is still possibly the best known Japanese film outside Japan. On the face of it, there is not much in common between the sombre, infinitely intriguing Rashomon and the delightful, lighthearted and light flooded After the Rain. In actual fact, there is a delicate web of links and connections between those two articulations, that correspond with each other. In both films most characters participate in several forms of judging, formal and informal, external and internal. They all judge and are being judged, cast adjudication and are subjected to it. In Rashomon a formal trial is depicted, alongside the internal ones. In After the Rain there is no formal trial, but all characters involved perform continuous ethical judgments of themselves and others. Rashomon begins in rain and ends with rain. Three people, who find shelter from the rain under the Rashomon gate, engage in narration. Two crimes -- a murder of a Samurai and rape of his wife -- are presented four times, in four different ways. The people at the gate renarrate the story of the formal judgment, where the different versions were first narrated, and, while doing so, judge the narrators, the characters of the narrative, and themselves.

  • The Compromise of Return: Viennese Jews After the Holocaust
    PRAISE FOR THE COMPROMISE OF RETURN “In an engaging, thoroughly researched study, Elizabeth Anthony reveals how and why Jewish returnees came back to ‘their’ city, Vienna, but not to Austria. They persisted in reclaiming their familial, professional, and polit- ical homes, as they compromised with ongoing individual and governmen- tal antisemitism, including the refusal to return their property. Elegantly written, Anthony’s book highlights the hardships and disappointments of Jewish survivors as they settled back ‘home.’” —Marion Kaplan, author of Hitler’s Jewish Refugees: Hope and Anxiety in Portugal “With The Compromise of Return Elizabeth Anthony brings history alive. She paints a vivid picture of the life of Jewish Austrians who chose to remain in or returned to Vienna after the fall of the Nazi regime. Through poignant personal interviews coupled with meticulous archival research and in conversation with international scholarship, the author convinc- ingly argues how their unique Jewish-Viennese identities allowed them to remain in an anti-Semitic society that presented itself as Hitler’s first vic- tim. The Compromise of Return, the first comprehensive English-language study on the topic, constitutes a major contribution to post-war Austrian and Holocaust histories.” —Jacqueline Vansant, author of Reclaiming Heimat: Trauma and Mourning in Memoirs by Jewish Austrian Reémigrés “Deeply researched and beautifully written, this book tells the poignant story of Jewish survivors’ return to Vienna, really for the first time. Brim- ming with insights, it gives voice to the returnees; it is they who stand at the core of this history.” —Dirk Rupnow, Institute for Contemporary History, University of Innsbruck The Compromise of Return THE COMPROMISE OF RETURN VIENNESE JEWS AFTER THE HOLOCAUST ELIZABETH ANTHONY WAYNE STATE UNIVERSITY PRESS Detroit © 2021 by Elizabeth Anthony.
